So easy and so yummy!! I used fresh tomato instead of dried one for the quesadillas and still works.

This was a delicious dish! I didn't feel like fussing with a pork loin so I substituted some chopped bacon slices instead and just used a little extra rice. Also used sundried tomato spread. The orange salsa was delicious! Very colorful and flavorful dish. I think this would also taste great vegetarian. Will make again!

Good taste and easy prep. One of my son-in-laws used pita bread. We all tried and enjoyed as well. Have fun!
